Share your desk!

[thearistocats]

Finally tidied up so now my desk is a bit more comprehensible. All my fountain pen inks and some of the pens are on the left, and on the right are my inking plate for printmaking, my desktop scanner, and my tray of crystals/stones. The drawer is most of the width of the desk and it's absolutely full of writing and printmaking supplies!

wow~! everyone's is actually pretty good!

i don't wanna share a photo of mine lol (;-.-) but basically, my desk is dusty and messy.
two monitors - one Acer gaming monitor (that i've forced it to be 720p ~60hz anyways but it's 1080p 180hz) and an older BenQ monitor (with only DVI and VGA, NO DP or HDMI) and i don't have it hooked up at all.
my desk's just an officeworks Typhoon gaming desk, it's left cheap plastic light thing has already snapped off, and the lights don't work anywaysssss
it has a carbon fiber top too, but i've grown out of my edgy gaming phase, so i'd love to get a clean oak or pine desk or something.

though hopefully when i can (and hopefully move out) i'll get a new desk and clean the heck up! plus my own back needs a good chair lmao
it's looking hopeful though!

My desk is primarily an art desk! Its two big folding tables, filled to the brim with various art supplies. It takes up most of the room in my room haha. I think it helps that my "bed" is a small couch/loveseat that doesn't take up much space itself at all.
It's also slightly different now than pictured here. I got one of those mini computer tower things since my laptop was having issues, and I switched which folding table is piled with stuff, but otherwise its basically the same.

Not a super clear representation, mostly cos I need to clean my desk. I have a lot at my desk. I'm really into retro tech and this desk was NOT built for that so it's been haphazardly modified to meet my needs. I have a 4K monitor and two CRTS up top. I mostly use the larger CRT for VHS playback and for recording tapes when I make custom ones. The tiny B&W one is honestly for aesthetics and a good place to put visualizer. (It's running desktop engine rn.) As far as retro tech I have a betamax player, Atari 7800, a VCR and a VCR/DVD combo at my desk. This little desk (Which again, I must re-iterate I SHOULD get a new one, I just haven't yet and I fear the complete de-construction and re-construction of my setup I'm not gonna lie) is pretty small. My keyboard is on a piece of MDF I have connected to the desktop, albeit it's removable if I need it on my lap or something. It's not great. That being said, despite all it's very evident shortcomings I love it. It gives this weird 90s/2000s hacker setup vibe that I love. Over the years I've been modifying it to fit my needs, including adding a boat cup holder to the side of it for a place to put my coffee. If anyone wants more pictures after I finish cleaning it up, lemme know. (this gif might take a sec to load)


Never mind! Forget tidying up later, I did a bit of tidying NOW. You can even see me halfway through typing this post lol :O so here's a full image of the setup. It may be horrible, but it's mine :3


Now if you're wondering the haphazardly made cube for the CRT. One of my cats knocked down that TV ONTO MY MONITOR BELOW and somehow nothing broke. The TV wasn't exactly wobbly or anything before, like it's a heavy TV it wasn't going anywhere. The box is temporary as I plan to make a better one, I just didn't have access to the tools at the time. I'm assuming she got behind it as that's the only way I really see her accomplishing that. Now she can't get behind it. There's also a blanket up top because my other cat likes to sleep up there sometimes! We live in a small apartment and don't have lots of high places for the kitties other than kitchen cabinets and a modest cat tower, so I get it. It's also pretty whimsical to just have him up there, chilling. Here he is up top:


If my desk has taught me anything, it's that cats don't care and will find a way to get anywhere.

This photo is pretty old, but nothing has changed except I have a NSW2 now and it's messier lmaooo.

My husband is directly next to me as well, with an almost identical setup. We're in the living room behind the couch, as we live in a 2BR apartment, and our gaming / office room got stolen when our son came along haha.

Here's my current bedroom desk! I moved out of my studio last week so its currently the only desk setup I have; its admittedly not super practical since its an iMac G5 from 2004 and I could really use an actual desk now.. but it was setup more from an aesthetic standpoint and I reeeaally enjoy it being there 

[foxmosis]

I did no tidying up, I saw this thread and was like I'm just gonna post what it looks like at this exact moment in time!  It's a mess but that's what it usually looks like anyways!

People tell me I have too many screens.



Those people are wrong.


Please do not judge me for the chaos in-between my screens. I have a system, I promise. (The system is "let things pile up and hope serendipity returns them to you when you need them.")

You may judge me for my poor care of my houseplant, though. That's definitely my fault.

[thide]

its not particularly fancy, but it gets the job done. its also pretty funny to have a cardboard box desk 
the speakers are those cool water ones, but in order to splash often they peak a lot so they don't sound very good ;p
most of the equipment here is pretty boring, this is one of those hacked-together desks and i don't put much on it unless i'm actively using it (i.e. i only put my CDs here if i'm burning or listening to one)

I've got a humble little desk, but it serves my purposes well. I've also got a 2014 MacBook Pro
that I use for video editing, but it's in my backpack right now. I used to have a Wacom Intuos drawing
tablet, but I recently replaced it with a 2010 Wacom Cintiq, which works surprisingly well for it's age.

[elliebees]

Here's my desk, hooray 



I recently got my old cherry blossom keyboard out of storage and chose a desktop background to match 

The gadget to the right side is a clock/radio/telephone, I listen to the radio on it a lot, as well as make calls.

[windit]

@ZinesByLennon OMG. Inspirational.

@elliebees OMG. I can't believe you have the phone / radio working??? I have a landline at home but it took forever to get set up. Iconic.

Here is my work desk at the moment. I'm moving house soon so nice to document it:




And here's my second lil desk that I use specifically for letter-writing and small zines:

And here's my second lil desk that I use specifically for letter-writing and small zines:

OMG that's a super-cute little bureau! Such a fantastic space!

We're looking to get something like that for our library, but first we need to get rid of the existing (basic, pine, drawered) desk that's in there; it belongs to my partner's brother and we're waiting for him to take it away, but we've been waiting a long while now!

My desk is a mess and for now is really crowded.
The monitor has an Xbox 360, Blu-Ray player, and my computer connected to it (I don't have the NES classic plugged in right now) with random stuff like a couple of vhs movies and a Doctor Who episode, with some Nintendo 64 and SNES cartidges, Polaroid camera, ipod, the Dell Dimension 2400 computer, and so on. I like collecting old stuff for some reason.

Also because there's not much room on my desk, the monitor for the Dell Dimension is just on the floor, and there's my main computer on the right!

Also here's my Xbox 360 that's just in the back of my monitor, when I get a new TV (because my current one is broken) my blu-ray player and Xbox is going back to the tv stand.

[SweetBasilSeedBomb]

my various trinkets and bits and bobs are in desperate need of re-organization on the front of my desk but this is my hell zone :3 i love my clown collection but i honestly always need more clowns

also  fair warning for some bones under the cut! I have some bones friends have found on pine barren walks i've done trades for on display so if that's not your thing, don't click!
